Lily-Growth, Christians.

The whole sermon of RsE. E Blakeslee be-
fore the Societies for Christian Endeavor ap-
pears in the Golden Rule, from which comes
this extract: One Of Germany's recent writ
ers, speaking of spiritual life and growth,
refers to these words Of Christ, behold the
lilies of the field, how they grow; they toh
not, neither do they spfn;;" they fret not,
neither do they work, but spontaneously tney
grow, and without toll or effort awake into
foyeliness, and So. hs. says, there can be
spiritual growth in man that Is spontaneous.
The spiritual life may awake into lovellness,
increasing and growing more and more.
question yery much II that was what our
Saviour meant;: He refers to the alr-fed
creatures, and to- the lilies, to show the law
Of providence concerning physical needs, but
He takes a step alive this when little fur

of God and His righteousness" This implies
Growth. no doubt. In the Christian church as
t is seen to-day in its life and character.
Under the power Of fostering circumstances
and appropriate conditions, the lily rises
from the ground and puts forth its beautiful
stem, leaf and blossom. In the same way when
the Christian church and societies OF Chris
tian Endeavor put forth effort under the
forms Of Christianity, there Is bnd OF
growth and enlargement OF spiritual LIE
whereby there is Christian growth IN a
feeble way, but if the world is to be lifted up
towards heaven with the heart Of thankful
ness, it must be by the grace Of God in every
heart. fancy there is altogether too much
lily-growth in the church. 1t is feeble
growth. When the lily grows, it Is accord
Ing to nature, spontaneously: but when the
spiritual life grows up spontaneously INTO
spiritual stature, it is feeble stature and it Is
not among these lily-grown Christians that
we expect great things for Christ.

Plate Glass Insurance.

"Our business is not so risky as fire in.
surance," said a member of company
that insured plate glass, "because we can
better protect ourselves against over val
uation and our losses are ssened by sal.
wage. Plate glass windows. as general
thing. meet with damage from three diff
ferent causes. Fire destroys the most,
MANY are broken by accident or through
malice, while a few are blown in by wind
storms. 1t is very seldom that window
is 50 badly shattered that we cant save
some portion of il, and as we make 1t a rule
to replace all pancs that are broken in
stead of paying out the value in cash, you
can readily see that our losses are not so
heavy unless a very large pane gets
shivered into atoms. We buy the glass
at good discount and have our own men
to but it in. All the glass you see in the
outside Office is salvage, and it's only IN
exceptionable cases that we are unable 70
replace pane from our stock on hand.
Even the scraps are of value. They are
put to many uses. especially for shelves IN
front of the cashiers windows in banks
and other offices.
"Plate glass is one of the most peculiar,
things in the world. At times 1t Will
stand any amount of hard usage, and then
aoain the least thing will break it. l
could tell you many queer stories in this
relation. Ihave dropped a heavy ham,
mer on a piece without injuring it, and
when have tried to show a friend how
hard blow it would stand, | have had
it grind into powder. ."-New York Sun.

SardineS.

There are two kinds known-the sum-
mer sardine, which is caught from June
to October, and the sardine de derive,
which is larger and is called the pilch-
ard by the English. The first is the
sardine of commerce and of the gour-
NETS. The latter is supposed to be the
same fish, but older. The first enters
the bays and shallow waters. The other
seems to be making its way, with the
mackercl, to cold northern ATTITUDES to
spawn, though those caught as far north
as the island of Glenan, off the coast OF
Scotland, have their eggs still immature.
Sometimes successive swarms OF sardlnes
of different sizes visit the coast OF Brit
tany successivelv, and in turn dlsap-
pear, having probably returned to their
dcep sea homes. At other times they
enter certain bays and remain all sum-
mer, seemingly without fear and con-
stantly increasing in size. Changes in
the Temperature of the water are pre-.
sumed to havo much to do with their
mirrations, and perhaps the question OF
food, though in this respect they seem to
have no special prefcrer rc>-'Sah fran-

AWAY to, Settle Scandal.

DR.. MD. Hodge tells of two Christian
men who "fell out" One heard that the
other was talking against him, and he went
to him and said: "Will you be kind enough
to tell me my faults to- my face, that ! may
profit by your Christian eandor and try to
get rid OF themF' Yesr sir" replied the
other, 81 will do it," They went aside, and
telling what you think wrong in me, will you
please bow down with ME and let us pray
over it, that my eyes may be opened to see
my faults as you will tell thsnna You lead IN
the prayer" 1t was doner and when the
PRAYER was over the man who had sought the
Interview, said: "Now proceed with what
Won have to complain Of IN me-" But the
other replied: "After praying over it, it
looks so little that it IS not worth talking
about The truth Is, feel now that In gong
around talking against you'll have been serv-
ing the devil myself, and have need that you
pray for me, and forgive me the wrong
have done you.1Religious Herald

Measles,


Measles begin with the symptoms Of
bad cold; hoarseness, a cough, sneezing,
and weak eyes. On the. fourth day q
rash appears on the forehead, spreads
over the face, and extends to the body.
It is darker red than the rash in scarlet
fever, and feels slightly raised TO- tha
touch. When the rash first, comes out il
looks like flea bits arrangedin Little halt
moons on the skim.
The great danger is of taking cold,
which may bring on Inflammation Of tha
lungs, and of injury to- the eyes from
over use, or exposure to- zoo strong q
light.
The patient should, be kept in bed in
well-ventilated roomat a. temperature OF
sixty-eight degrees. The window must
be lowered few inches, at the. top, il
possible, the opening being covered with
strip of flannel to. prevent dnanght.
As fresh air is indispensable, If this
makes the room too cold >. a. fire must be
lighted to counteract it..
A warm sponge bath should be given
each day, folded blankets, being placed
over and under the patients, in bed, tha
night-dress removed and the hand hold.
ing the sponge being passed under tho
upper blanket while bathing to- avoid ex.
posure. The window should be shut
during the bath. Il the rash causes much
irritation it may be rubbed with cosmo-
line or sweet oil.
The eyes should be carefully shaded
from the light, and no reading permitted
until they are strong again Serious in.
flammation and permanent weakness Of
the eyes may follow, if these precautions
are not taken. It is often very hard to
keep child amused and happy under
these restrictions. This is one of the
difficulties that good nurse will over
come, and che must remember that the
child's comfort during life may depend
upon the care it receives at this time.
To avoid cold, all clothing should be
warmed and aired before being used. A
flannel jacket worn over the night-dress
is great protection.
If delirium comes on, and the rash
suddenly disappears, the sufferer should
be put into warm bath containing four
tablespoonfuls of mustard to each pail OF
water, taken out after a few minutes,
quickly dried with warm towels, and
wrapped in blankets until the docto,
comes. If the child has q quick pulse
and seems very sleepy, the breathing
should be carefully watched to detect
any symptoms of trouble with the chest.
Milk should be the chief article of diet.
It may be used in cruel, custard, and
blanc-mange, and varied with beef tea,
chicken broth, mutton broth, toast, and
any light food. Youths Companion.

Statistics as a Reformer.

The application Of the facts which the
statistician can gather respecting the effect
of the use Of intoxicating liquor upon those
who are its victims, and indirectly upon the
community, is, at the present time, having
more influence in favor of temperance and
temperance legislation than any other agency:
The Federal Government has already entered
upon the work Of collecting and presenting
statistics relative to the cost Of lntoXlcants
to the people in this country. Its statement.
to tho effect that the people Of the United
States expend annually not millions alone,
but billions-a sum greater than our national
debtor intoxicantS in one form or another,
has opened the eyes of thousands to the
wastetuiness and evil of the drink habit who
could not have been influenced by the most
eloquent of appeals in favor of temperance,
or the most violent anathemas Of those who
hate the traffic. Men are discussing the sub
from this standpoint who never thought OF it
before and who are not total abstainerS. The
figures presented by the report Of the
Bureau of Statistics have opened the eyes
of thousands of men to a new set
of facts. To them the grogshop is no longer
place to be viewed with indifference, but
place which swallows up the earnings of tens
of thousands, and gives them nothing in re-.
turn but poverty and wretchedness Not
only does it take the money of the victims,
but makes the victims paupers by thousands,
thereby increasing taxation. ~ never
thought much of this matter until Of late, \"
said man few days ago; "but since my at
tention has been called to il, i am astonished at
the number of men, who may be seen in grog-
shops after payday spending their wages,
while their families are in rags and hunger.
These are the people who suffer most; and il
the waste which the grogshop causes could
b, placed before the people in figures, it would
astonish people generally. Not long since, in
employer recently paid his workmen s7O0 on
Saturday night in new bills, which he Sc
cretly marked. On the following Monday
$3.50 of these marked bills were deposited in
the bank bank by saloon or grogshop keep
ers. This probably was an exceptional case,
but the amount which wage earners squan.
der at the grogshop is the price of comfort
to many families -ROSton journal.

THE HOME DOCTOR.
Removing Warts.

It is now fairly established, says q
writer in the Medical Press, that the COM
mon wart, which is So unsightly and
often so proliferous on the hand sud face,
can be easily removed by small doses Of
sulphate of magnecia taken internally
to this extraordinary fact. Several
children treated with three-grain doses
of Epson salts morning and evening were
promptly cured, NJ. Aubert cites the case
of a woman whose face was disfgured BY
these excrescences and who was cured in
month by a drachm and half Of
magnesia taken daily. Another medical
man reports a case of very large warts
which disappeared in fortnight from
she daily administration often grains Of
the salts.

"The Night Is Far Spent"

This is true as regards the aged Christian
pilgrim. Long has he been traveller here
Oftentimes has he journeyed on, over
shadowed by clouds and darkness Neither
sun nor stars has been seen for many days.
He has encountered mysterious providences.
The light of Gods countenance has been hid
from him, and his soul has beeh cast down
within him. It may be so even now with
some humble believer that may read these
lines. Take courage, dear friend Inc
precious assurance is for you. 1.-THE night Is
far spent" You have already come to its
last watches 1.-THE day is at hand" 1t will
soon dawn, and the shadows will flee away:
Soon will you close your weary eyes upon all
the dark scenes of earth and time, to open
them amidst the splendors Of cloudless and
an eternal day. There shall be no night in
habitant. for ''the glory Of God doth tighten
it, and the Lamb is the light thereof"
"The Father of eternal light
Shall there his beams display;
Nor shall ono moments darkness mix
With that UNMARRIED day"
And as regards the moral condition of our
world "the night is far speut." Thus far
that moral state has been one OF darkness.
Darkness has covered the earth, and gross
darkness the people. In many portions OF the
world it has been darkness that might be
felt, darkness unalleviated even by the light
of the moon, or the glimmering of single
star.
1t has been an unhappy night. Under its
cover innumerable crimes have been perpe-
trated, and untold miseries have been en-
lured. Man has inflicted many grievous
wrongs and cruelties upon his fellow-man.
Brutal and nerciless wars have, age after
age, drenched the earth with blood. Op-
preston has reigned, and man has tyran-
nized over his brother-man 1ntemperance
has been the source of indescribable wretch.
edness and woes. Iniquity, prevalent in u
thousand forms, has made our world more
akin to hell than to heaven.
And this dark, unhappy night has been
long one; night of thousands OF years:
Century after century has rolled away, and
still the bitter cry has been, GLOW long, o
Lord, how long!"
But, blessed be God, it shall not be inter-
minable. There is predicted end, and in
these days that end makes haste. There are
unmistakable signs that the day is beginning
to dawn. There are cheering signs that those
glorious things spoken by inspired prophets
concerning brighter and better days are hast
ening to their accomplishment.
"The morning light is breaking,
The darkness disappears"
"The night is far spent, the day is at
hand.n
